Anakin was still alive in Obi-Wan’s mind. Obi-Wan was engaged with him so intensely that he expected his apprentice to walk over one of those shifting sand dunes and grin at him again. Or scowl. He’d take anything. Any mood, any defiance. Just to see him again.

This one seems to be completely unavailable anywhere on the Internet and I’m sad about it

I always loved this scene for the same reasons.
Ah,“ Qui-Gon said. "And there is your first lesson on why love is forbidden between the Jedi.”
Obi-Wan said nothing. There was just the whisper of footsteps and the soft calming splash of the fountains.
“I advise you to give her up,” Qui-Gon said as gently as he could.
“This is based not so much on the rules of the Jedi, but from what I know of you. Of both of you. Obi-Wan, you are a gifted Jedi. The path is one that is ingrained on your heart. On your character . If you give it up, something in you would die. I feel the same about Siri.”“But I won’t give up the Jedi,” Obi-Wan insisted. “The Order could change its rules.”
“Know this, Padawan,” Qui-Gon said. “The Jedi Council will not change the rules.”
“But – ”
“They will not change the precepts. Not unless the whole galaxy changes, the whole Order changes, not unless an upheaval happens that changes everything. Then, perhaps, the rules will change.
Secrets of the Jedi
When I think “What do I want to see in the new Star Wars movies?” I always, always come back to this.

I just love this quote. It’s so easily overlooked, seen as unimportant, until you see the prequels. Because then you realize how utterly true and heartbreaking that phrase is. “He died about the same time your father did.” Meaning that Obi-Wan, that is, everything that made him who he was, his faith, his joy, his light, was murdered, killed, at the same time that Anakin was lost to the Dark Side. When Anakin became Vader, Obi-Wan became Ben. Anakin and Obi-Wan died together on that planet. Only Vader and Ben left it alive. One full of hate and darkness, the other a broken shell that was merely existing, not even really living. These two men were so deeply entwined, so bonded together in the force, that when one died, so did the other. That is the real definition of true love.
Oh my god.
#that moment where Obi-wan visibly gives up on anakin #was essentially the moment he surrendered himself #kenobi the great jedi hero #ben taking that last little bit of his brother to somewhere safe #and that last little bit of himself to be buried in the desert (via xenadd)
